It does, but it is not very fast. My guess is, from a majority of places in Seoul or Incheon it is cheaper and faster to take a bus.

TB,

You have to take the Line 5 to Gimpo, then transfer to the new line out to Incheon Airport. The fees are seperate for each line, meaning you have to buy seperate tickets (or swipe your card out for Line 5 and back in for the airport line if you have one).

Dutchy is correct, it isn't very convenient depending upon where your coming from.

It's still quicker to take the bus from most places in Seoul, and will probably continue to be even when they complete the line from Seoul Station.

Quite a shame. I've said this a bunch of times, but they REALLY dropped the ball on this one. They should have gone with MAGLEV technology...imagine getting to Incheon in less than 10 minutes from Seoul Station Sad

The direct line should be open in 2010.

Why they couldn't have built it CONCURRENTLY with the actual airport I'll never know.
